This article is dumb. Please delete ASAP. -Indolences 15:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

An article like this one is a good idea, although this one is poorly done. It should be expanded and made more complete. Nathan 21:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for now, merge somewhere else later: This should probably just be a section on trends in brand names, particularly the widespread adoption of medial capitals. Slightly Selassie 13:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Blatant IDONTLIKEIT nomination. Regarding the entry itself, although the article is a stub (and I have so marked it after providing some sourcing for its content) it is a viable one, and has potential for expansion. Nothing in policy is violated. ◄Zahakiel► 14:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, sourced and notable to me. And a [[weak argument to delete. Carlosguitar 15:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge somewhere. Perhaps Apple Inc. advertising. It just seems a bit .. odd, hanging out here on its own, and the title is rather unweildy at best. Arkyan • (talk) 15:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • iMerge. Who in their right mind would ever stumble across this article? Clarityfiend 19:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  • keep. Surprisingly informative article for such a stupid topic. This brings me to another one: IMO the Lowercase e prefix is just as notable. Mukadderat 00:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. "This article is dumb" isn't a Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Needs expansion/cleanup, and possibly needs decategorized from Apple now that we have iGoogle, Cisco's iPhone, etc etc. But there's an encyclopedic marketing/product branding article in there somewhere, waiting to get out. As per User:Arkyan I find the title unintuitive, but for the life of me I can't think of a more accurate and succinct page name. --DeLarge 10:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Ooo nice find. I'm cool with redirecting there, as it is not pretty much one brand (apple) related, and can be used in many instances. -Indolences 15:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge. The article starts with common prefix used to refer to products developed by Apple, but then it is undermined by iGoogle and others. It is more like a My prefix (e.g. MySQL), used a few years ago. Since the prefix is now used widely with no connection to Apple, such tone should be removed from the article. If the prefix is notable, it should be merged with other notable i-prefixes as Internet-related prefixes. -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 22:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Internet-related prefixes.  --LambiamTalk 19:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Bad faith nomination. - Sikon 10:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
